Sector Development

We define ‘sector development’ as activities and projects that support the growth and development of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community housing providers in Queensland; encouraging their formation; and/or their long-term sustainability.

Housing Queensland works with a range of partners to develop interventions and programmes that address a range of issues, including:

• Improving corporate governance and strategic planning among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community housing providers
• Assisting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community housing providers and collaborations between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community housing providers to compete for funding to provide more local housing
• Addressing barriers and challenges to NRSCH registration for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community housing providers
• Workforce planning including training provision and advice on recruitment from outside a geographic region
• Organisational planning and development.

Sector Development is very important to Housing Queensland. We continue to work closely with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community housing providers to identify what they need and what is relevant to their overall long-term success.

We continue to engage frequently with the sector and assist individual members by listening to their needs and by helping them overcome organisational challenges so that the whole sector is strong and sustainable.

Our commitment to sector engagement and development has been demonstrated through our advocacy, sector development activities, publications and member engagement activities including site visits, CEO communication and member events; through the sharing of news; and through the ongoing development of sector resources.

Housing Queensland strives to provide professional advice that adds value to our members and partners. Our aim is to help them achieve their objectives.

Our staff have a wealth of experience and are trusted advisors to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community housing providers, other peak bodies, universities and government.

We continue to work closely stakeholders to identify their needs and what is relevant to their overall success. Housing Queensland is available to assist Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community housing providers by listening to their needs and giving them professional advice and information, they need to make informed decisions.
